I am considering a home battery backup generator system instead of a fossil fuel generator? Can say the 6000x with a home integration kit be tied to my main panel with an auto transfer switch?

Nomad 20 low power outputs
Hello I have had the Nomad 20 for almost 2 years and it hardly produces any power anymore. I plug it in to charge my yeti 200x via the 8mm port or to charge the Sherpa 100ac via 8mm port. In direct sunlight, the panel barely gives 4 W. I also measured the USB output power and it comes out to just 1 amp. I also have a…

Can the Tank Pro 4000 sit side by side with the Yeti Pro 4000?
All of the illustrations show the Yeti Pro 4000 being stacked on top of the Tank Pro 4000. Is the cord long enough to reach if they are instead put side by side? I ask because in the space I intend to put them (in a van) I have more horizontal than vertical space available, and would prefer to orient them that way.…

Fan noise 500?
I've had two 1500's plugged in for for well over a year and I've never heard a peep from them. Just got a 500 and I hear what has to be a fan kick on fairly regularly. They are all stored in a cool basement area, so there's no difference in temperature or heat to speak of. No lights on the panel indicating something wrong…

Why doesn't the Nomad 100 have a kickstand?
In looking for a good 100W foldable solar panel, I looked at the Nomad 100, but was disappointed to learn that it doesn't have a kickstand. Every other 100W foldable panel does, so why doesn't Goal Zero? Even though I'm heavily invested in GZ, this was a deal breaker for me. I'll now be looking for a model from a…

Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Lithium
For a year I have had issues charging my Yeti 1000, but beacuae I didn’t use it that much I didn’t really look into it. Now it’s at 0% and won’t charge at all when connected to 110V outlet. I tried charging it with my Boulder 100 panel today, but even though it was a sunny day, the blue light at the port being on, it…

How Should I compare/contrast the new Flex 100i and the Boulder 100i?
I want to install a solar panel on my Sprinter Van. I have a Yeti 1500X inside and the van is pre-wired to the roof for solar panels. I had planned to install a cross bar and mount a Boulder 100i but the new Flex might make my job easier. My concern is that, despite the specs looking the same, the flex may not be as…

Toxic Burning Smell Coming From my Yeti 3000X
Came home today and opened the garage where my Yeti 3000X is plugged in. There was a very strong toxic burning smell. The smell was emanating from the Yeti. I unplugged the Yeti, opened my garage doors and turned a fan on to help disperse the odor. Unfortunately, the smell seeped into my house and hopefully didn’t…

Yeti 1500x To Power Cargo Trailer / Toy Hauler Conversion
I have a cargo trailer that I am converting into a toy hauler and am thinking of going with the Yeti 1500x (for now and may upgrade to the PRO 4000 later) as the power solution as it is seemingly more versatile than separate batteries/inverter/etc as I can pull the until and use as home backup generator. My questions: How…

Can you hook up two remote displays?
Wondering if you can daisy chain two of the remote displays? So I can have one in my camper, and one in the cab of my truck? Seeing as there are two RJ45 ports on the display, I thought this might be the intention for those.

Yeti 700 - 84% bug?
Hello, so I've had my Yeti for about a week now. I love it. I wanted to extend the battery life overall so I activated the battery saver mode where it charges up to 85% max. So each time I plug it in to charge, it will charge all the way to 85% but if I leave it plugged in to the wall, it eventually discharges to 84%. Is…

Question on extension cable and combiner cable
I have a Yeti 1000Core and a Yeti 700 (with the new battery technology--just got them both last week). I want to connect them to a Boulder 100 and Boulder 50 solar panel. This combiner cable (Goal Zero 8mm to High Power Port4X combiner cable) looks like it would work on the 1000, but not the 700. What would work with the…
